Pitch Report:

Multan’s surface is excellent for batting, and it’s anticipated that this game’s surface will be just as fantastic. The ball will come into the bat very nicely during the match, and the hitters will receive full compensation for their shot-playing. Any captain who wins the toss may choose to bat first.

Probable Playing XI:

Multan Sultans (MS):

Khushdil Shah, David Miller, Kieron Pollard, Mohammad Rizwan (C & WK), Shan Masood, Rilee Rossouw, Akeal Hosein, Usama Mir, Sameen Gul, Abbas Afridi, Ihsanullah.

Peshawar Zalmi (PZ):

Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Haris (wk), Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Saim Ayub, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, James Neesham, Shakib Al Hasan, Wahab Riaz, Sufiyan Muqeem, Salman Irshad, Khurram Shahzad

Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter:

Mohammad Rizwan:

Being the highest scorer for his team at the end of the Bangladesh Premier League, Rizwan has been in excellent form with the bat. To keep up his consistency, he also scored a scorching run in the PSL game’s first match. The hitter will want to increase his total of runs scored since, based on his present form, he seems to be lethal.

Probable best bowler:

Wahab Riaz:

Although Multan’s playing surface favors hitters, Wahab’s expertise may be useful to the team in the next match. Wahab will want to make significant strides while preventing the opposition from overreaching.
